Abstract excerpt
Enteroviruses (EVs), especially group B coxsackieviruses, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To determine whether a specific type of EV is present in DCM hearts, we examined the genotypes of EVs detected in endomyocardial biopsies and pericar...
